Sewage Infrastructure Failures: A Costly Lesson A recent $1M settlement highlights the critical importance of robust wastewater management systems. As this article points out, inadequate infrastructure and oversight can lead to severe consequences for both residents and local councils.   At Trine Kel Limited (TKL), we are committed to providing forward-thinking, sustainable civil engineering solutions that prevent such failures. Whether it’s through innovative hydraulic and hydrological modeling or practical engineering designs, we work closely with councils and clients to ensure resilient, future-proofed systems that serve communities effectively.   Let’s work together to safeguard our environment and infrastructure.   #CivilEngineering #SewageManagement #InfrastructureSolutions #HydraulicModeling #Sustainability #EngineeringInnovation

The final Grenfell Inquiry report has been released. It suggests the Grenfell fire was the result of systemic failures in the private and public sectors and outlines key reforms for construction and building safety. Learn what these changes might mean for industry professionals. https://lnkd.in/dB2hM9xc #grenfellreport #buildingsafety #buildingsafetyact

Due to issues with combustible cladding in Australia on both private and government owned public buildings, the requirements in the National Construction Code: Building Code of Australia for external walls required to be of non-combustible construction was updated to better clarify the requirements for each of the elements making up and external wall including cladding and attachments. In Qld further restrictions relating to the use of certain types of cladding are contained in Queensland Development Code Part MP 2.5- Use of External Cladding. It's important at the design and specification stage to ensure all the elements in/on the external walls meet the requirements. https://lnkd.in/eZe2-Pda Notum BCA provides client-side BCA and regulations consulting services at any stage through design concept to construction to cover the intricacies of the NCC BCA as they relate to a particular project.

💚 7 years on, yet still no real accountability - the Grenfell Tower fire was an absolute tragedy, the delay in answers is an absolute travesty. The fire that engulfed the tower should have been contained within the flat of origin, the fire should have been fought and deaths should have been avoided. Instead, 72 innocent people lost their lives due to failings by numerous stakeholders - the local borough Council, the emergency services, contractors, material manufacturers, landlords, the list goes on. We've had new legislation and building control measures introduced since the tragedy and those within the construction industry have a renewed and rightful focus on fire safety. We must still do better, we must not let such a tragedy happen again. It's the least we owe to those that lost their lives. To those that remain, they at least deserve an apology, fair treatment and the answers that they so desperately seek. 7 years on, we remember Grenfell. 💚 #Justice4Grenfell #buildingsafety #firesafety #cladding #higherriskbuildings #construction #compliance #buildingregulations #buildingsafetyact #rememberingthe72 #grenfelltower
